Frequently asked questions
- Is ammonium lactate safe for baby skin?
- No evidence of developmental or infant-specific toxicity; no mechanistic reproductive concerns identified. Because infant skin has a higher surface-area-to-weight ratio and a less mature barrier, dermal exposure is increased relative to adults; adult exposure assessed as low (e=1) is increased by +1 for babies per instructions, giving e=2. Sources: CIR, PubChem, ECHA, CosIng, EWG.
